Ben Chrisene maybe?
Yes, particularly on Coutinho who has been out 2 months with a hamstring injury.
I think Bouba and Cash should both be in with a chance of making the bench. No idea on Bailey or Coutinho though, the updates on them have been a little more vague.

Obviously Phil would be further behind match fitness wise.

If so all 3 could be available this weekend
Depends on what tactical masterstroke Unai has up his sleeve for Brentford and Fulham, but would we start Dendoncker and then sub Bouba in for minutes if the games allow for it?

If he's not completely fit, then don't play him. He was dreadful first half against Chelsea, so either wasn't fully fit or injured himself again.

There was a challenge about 15mins in and he never looked comfortable after that, not quite limping but clearly not right.
